Lyrics

Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please, don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
Ooh-ooh-ah, ooh-ooh-ah
Ooh-ooh-ah, ooh-ooh-ah-ah
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
Yeah, yeah
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please, don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
Yee-ha
Wo-uh-wo, wo-uh-wo
Wo-uh-wo, wo-uh-wo-wo
